+ What's small, round, and gets trapped in your bile duct?

Gall stones! And apparently I have them! Or so the doctor told me last night as Kelly, Daphne, and I rushed to the emergency room because I thought I was DYING! Yes, that is where the Williams family spent their Monday evening. People who get gall stones are obese, heavy drinkers, smokers, they eat high-fat diets, and don't exercise! So why do I have them? No clue. The doctor says there is no reason to why people do or don't get them. But me, I'm only 26, I go to the gym regularly, and I am by no means obese! This Friday I have an appointment with a surgeon to discuss my options. Basically the Williams family may be taking a break from the blogging world for the time being. Who knows, when we come back I may be minus an organ and we may have some great photos. We'll see! Wish us luck!
